All wireless and wired controllers have different MAC addresses so the S560 should also have two different MAC addresses.

Yes. By trying to use both you are creating an Ethernet loop. Ethernet is a point to point technology. Your router sees the same MAC address on two different links

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

Unfortunately Panasonic does not make this very clear on the BluRay box. The player, depending on model is "wireless ready" but requires the LAN adapter to connect to your wi-fi as it does not have the required circuitry internally to receive and process the wi-fi signal. My Blu Ray was network ready - if I used an ethernet cable, but required the adapter for wifi. I guess it is way to sell an accessory. This is a throwback to early laptops that required a wifi usb adapter to connect.

Under BD/DVD viewing settings there is a setting to allow BD internet connection. Not shown in manual.

Thanks for the update. I ended up buying the LG BD570 Network Blu-ray Disc Player after all my investigations and it has turned out to be a great device.I hardly use it for disc playback though, but it's nice to know that the option is there.

I had a Roku and it was wireless. I sold it and wanted to buy a wired Roku I found out the wired Roku is still wireless. So I bought a Samsung DVD BD-F5100 that does more than the Roku all hard wired so I needed the extra ports the TP-Link worked great.

Hello Joseph..... I hope this info helps: The back of the Sony BDP-S790 is its most interesting part. Here, you'll find not one but two HDMI outputs, an Ethernet network port, an additional USB port, optical and coaxial digital audio, as well as a set of backup composite audio/video connectors. The BDP-S790 has Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n built in. Sony 3D Blu-ray player Ports on the rear of the BDP-S790, including two HDMI outputs. The dual HDMI output is an interesting feature. Its advantage is in making it possible to connect an A/V receiver or home theatre system with one HDMI port, and using the other port to send an unadulterated HDMI signal to your TV or home theatre projector. If you've got an A/V receiver that won't pass through 3D video, for example, this is a big selling point.

Quick Question: I have a wireless router, currently use the Netflix Roku box as wireless, router is another room..Netflix connection all works fine..does this mean this Samsung 2500 blu ray player is NOT wireless for Netflix?? Thanks-

Do you really have to add the IP addresses, Subnet masks, Gateway and DNS addresses? Can't the blu-ray player get than automatically from the modem/router? What happens when you reset the modem and the IP address gets re-set, do you have to manually enter the new IP address?

Not sure since I did not use it for this reason. I imagine your BluRay player has to have the capability to support an internet connection (i.e. integrated software, interface, etc.)

this will depend mostly on how current the movie on blu ray actually is. internet connection which is used to update the firmware, which will improve your overall experience, plus its capability to play NEW blu ray movies. so the best answer is that although you dont have to be connected to the internet 24/7 it would be smart to probably once every month, or if you try to play a new movie and it wont play.

If your Blu-ray is attached to your network via ethernet, then this will allow you to connect it via wifi. If your Blu-ray player is already wireless, then this is redundant and not necessary.

Definitely not wireless. It may have wireless Internet but I'm not even sure about that. My blu ray player died less than a year some system error code keeps popping up. Good player while it lasted though

I just uploaded the 2.6 firmware on my BD-P1500 player. I was having issues with the new release of Sherlock Holmes. After the upgrade it is still jumping on the same scenes, after 3 bluray disc exchanges. Does anyone know if the new version will be out soon. Samsung said they usually come out every 3 months with new firmware updates.
